Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a methodology for detecting early forming cavities in children that is more accurate and reliable than the gold standard used by dentists around the world. The new method uses an electrical current device to detect early enamel mineral loss before it can develop into a cavity. The manual gold standard is for a dentist to probe the surfaces of the teeth with a fine pick, searching for areas of defect.
